Car shipping routes
State-to-state and cross-country lanes across the US, each written up with its real corridor, its busy season and what pickup and delivery look like at both ends.
We ship cars between any two points in the lower 48. The lanes below are the ones people ask about most, and each page covers what's specific to that trip: which interstate the carrier runs, where mountains or weather slow things down, when the lane gets busy, and how pickup works at your end. Distances are ranges because your exact addresses matter, and transit days are typical figures after pickup, not promises. If your lane isn't listed, get a quote anyway; the page list isn't the service area. For the local side of a move, see the cities we serve.
